    A bar with a twist is to open in Shipley at the weekend.

    The Buskers Bar will provide the opportunity for patrons to see local musical talent.  It will be one of ten eventual bars spread across the north, which will aim to give buskers the chance for stardom.

    The buskers who want to perform at the venue will be subject to a judging panel, with entries rolling around every eight weeks.

    Simon Cowell's Syco Records are involved with the project.
